Demon Lord

Chapter 929

The combination of kindness and strength is the only way to treat the villagers in the mountains and fields. After dismounting, the engineers went directly to the village head and asked to distribute the food in person—this was naturally to prevent the food from being stolen by a few people. The village head used to be the housekeeper of the nearby Viscount Morakot for more than 20 years, and was "distributed" here because of a mistake. Seeing the other party's strong methods, his expression changed several times, but he finally agreed to the decision to distribute on-site.

Su Weier took three pieces of jerky and took a bite. The rich meat aroma made him almost swallow his tongue. He simply sat on the ground next to the village head and ate, just in time to hear the words of the engineer in charge: "After the road is repaired, the roads from here to other villages will be unimpeded. At that time, someone will come to guide you in farming. Grain production will be at least two times higher than before."

"Really?" The village chief's eyes widened when he heard this: "That's great... We can't afford to pay this year's tax!"

"Pay taxes? Viscount Morakot is dead."

"Cough cough cough..."

Su Weier was choked by the saliva, he looked up with wide eyes, and found that the village chief had a similar expression to his own.

"The stubborn Viscount Morakot is the last noble in the kingdom who refuses to be loyal to King Sally I. The day before yesterday, he and his personal guards were reduced to ashes. The Karen Kingdom is now completely unified. Your only lord, only King Sally I, do you understand? There will be no Viscount Morakot in the future, and if the tax collector does not come in the name of the kingdom's tax collector, then he is a fake."

The engineers held several slips of paper in their hands, which recorded what they were going to read out. Su Weier watched enviously from behind, because only the village chief was literate in the whole village, and everyone else was illiterate.

"The second thing is that the kingdom has gone through war this year, and a lot of waste is waiting to be built. In order to reduce the burden on the people, the cabinet decided to exempt remote areas from taxes for a whole year."

The words of the engineer stunned the people who were gnawing on the jerky, followed by cheers - Viscount Morakot's tax was too heavy before, and after paying the taxed food, people often have to endure the food shortage. The hunger of these people, they rely on picking wild fruits or catching small wild animals to satisfy their hunger all day long. Now that taxes are exempted, who wouldn't be ecstatic?

"The third thing is that the engineering team is recruiting personnel. Your village has six places. Those who want to apply can register with me."

"Recruiting... what?"

"Those who assist in road construction are fine as long as they can farm the fields, not go out to fight. There is no war now."

The engineer patiently explained, "After entering the engineering team, board and lodging will be provided. If you perform well, you can enter the official team and get paid."

But the village turned around and told these villagers again, and no one was willing to stand up—for these soil turtles in remote mountainous areas, "going out" is a very scary thing. They are ignorant and timid. Hearing the news of the "tax exemption" before, this group of people is already thinking about how much food will be left this year. Where can anyone go to do that unknown "project"?

"If no one signs up, it will be considered a waiver."

The engineer didn't force it, and when he was about to leave, Su Weier suddenly raised his hand and said, "I...I want to go!"

"We don't accept children."

"I—I'm seventeen!"

Su Weier plucked up the courage to shout out, which made the engineer look at him more, and then asked the village chief: "Is he really 17 years old?"

"yes."

"Okay, then you go back and say goodbye to your family and come with us."

The engineer never talked nonsense, "From now on, I can have three days off every month, and I can come back to see my parents if I want to come back."

"I... I have no family."

Su Weier whispered.

"knew."

After the engineer's voice fell, the huge roar of the road construction puppet was getting closer and closer. The villagers looked over, and the smooth road extending from the horizon in the distance made everyone feel like a demon. But Su Weier, holding the dried meat in his hand, followed the footsteps of the engineers and walked towards the mighty construction team.

He didn't know what was waiting for him,

But Suwell decided to go out and take a look.

*****

Herchino Demon Tower finally returned to Hollier City, but Sally, as the king, did not change this place to "Imperial City", because in her eyes, the so-called "Imperial Palace" or "Imperial City" may have already The Luciferon family, which has become the new royal family, is just a symbol without much meaning.

After the kingdom is unified, it is still in the "statistics" stage, that is, to count the kingdom's population, wealth structure and various figures for analysis and formulation of follow-up national policies. The cabinet’s governing methods are no longer as radical and swift as they were in Efta before—it was done to buy time, but now that the kingdom is unified, the most important thing is time, everything is based on stability, and all policies must be prudent Be careful again.

The cabinet is concerned about the affairs of the country, and Sally delegates power very easily. Now she studies divine arts all day long, and regularly cleanses the dragons in the magic tower.

Compared to the stranger a month ago, now Sally can already name all these dragons, and there are still many dragons who are willing to talk to the king a few more times, so Sally really has a lot of " Dragon friends".

And when she came to the nineteenth floor today, Lord Quiao was studying with a book. Sally took a look and found that it turned out to be Elson's magic journal. On the desk next to Quiao, there were still paper and pens, obviously looking like he was studying spells.

Holding the scepter, she stepped forward: "Your Excellency Quiao, let me cast a purification technique."

"Oh well."

Quiao has recovered from the initial depression and depression, and now his attitude towards Sally is very peaceful, he doesn't talk much, but he is not indifferent. He got out of the study and sat down calmly.

Sally cast the spell very quickly, and it was over in a minute. After that, Quiao nodded and thanked. Sally could have left, but she glanced at the paper on which Quiao had written a lot, and said curiously: "You Are you studying human spells?"

"Oh, yes, there are a lot of things that need to be improved in these journals. I'll write them out for points."

"integral?"

Sally froze for a moment, and then remembered that Rody had specially set up a point system for the "sanatorium". Tokens for gambling and so on. She thought that the Dragon Clan was not interested in these things, but now it seems...it seems that Lord Quiao is very concerned?

"Tomorrow there will be a match for the Red Dragons. I have to exchange some tokens early to bet. These kids always like to show off their football skills when they play football. How many times have I said it without listening, really..."

When Quiao said this, Sally remembered that the male dragons in the entertainment area seemed to be very keen on the sport of "football". They were seven against seven, chasing a crystal ball on a huge field after restraining their strength through magic. She had only heard of it, and she felt naive when she thought about it, but the actual situation was far more popular than expected.

"I'm the coach of the Red Dragons, so I have to give them a lot of points as rewards, otherwise these kids don't have much enthusiasm." Quiao seemed very enthusiastic about this matter, and continued to correct with the quill in his hand The content in the journal: "Ask Roddy for me, the final reward of the Champions Cup is only 5000 points? Don't you add something else?"

"Uh... ok."

Sally walked out of the room in a daze. The once all-powerful dragon lord has now become a football coach who is focused on winning the championship. This contrast makes her a little unacceptable. But after walking a few steps, Sally suddenly realized what the purpose of Rody's system was. "Rehabilitation" was not "confinement". There are so many faces, it is almost equivalent to another world, and the dragons don't have to worry about being bored here.

But in the case of "stocking", a group of powerful dragons are idle all day long, which is completely a waste. Using a complete set of economic systems and systems to motivate the dragons, they gained so-called "points", but paid for valuable knowledge and experience.

In this way, the energy of the dragon clan was vented, and the papers they exchanged for points provided an immeasurable boost and influence to the magic world of the Karen Kingdom.

The Dragon Clan knew that this was being used, but they were happy to be used...Sally had to admire Rody's head in such a way.

And when she opened another door, Lord Morals was looking at the playing cards in his hand with his legs crossed.

"coming?"

"Yes. Your Excellency Morals, I will release the purification technique."

"good."

Morales sat here alone, the cards in her hand were constantly shuffled, dealt and floated horizontally in front of her under the control of spells. After casting the spell, Sally asked puzzled, "Are you studying cards?"

"Yes, this game looks simple, but the mathematical meaning behind it always makes me feel amazing."

She picked up a few cards at random, and the hand-painted patterns on them were very exquisite, but Sally didn't understand what the "mathematical meaning" in Morals's mouth was.

Turning her head and taking a look, Sally found that Morals had a stack of draft papers and a book in her hand. It was "Principles of Statistics" that Roddy had asked her to study briefly before——Sally felt dizzy after reading this book. Her brain was overwhelmed, and she couldn't learn all kinds of concepts at all, but she didn't expect that the former lord of the green dragon would be interested in delving into it.

"I am verifying some of the content in this book, and at the same time, I am also researching whether luck is more important or technology is more important."

Morals smiled: "The cards look very simple, but it takes a lot of effort to find the optimal solution. The more you study this thing, the more interesting it becomes. And that mahjong tile... This kind of game can make those children addicted, There are indeed various reasons.”

It is also related to the "entertainment area" project in the magic tower. Sally hasn't been to the so-called "entertainment area" these days, but seeing what the two lords mentioned, she thought about it and decided to take a look after leaving the 19th floor.
